Gameday Thread: Giants @ Angels (6/22/2021): Heaney on the mound, Rendon dropped to 5th

Well, the Dodgers are getting shut out, too, and the Clippers lost in hilarious fashion. 

So there is that. I guess.

Anybody up for a miracle comeback?

 

 

Yeah, I thought so...

Rally time!

Or not

Smoked!

Go Halos!

Oh well. Early game Wednesday. Ohtani starts? And the Giants looked like the better team that they are.

[jsnpritchett]

The two teams combined for 27 K and only 3 BB.  Yikes.

Always a silver lining for me, @Justin

DeSclafani + Heaney + Doug Eddings = STRIKEOUT CITY!

In the "It could be worse" department:

Arizona is 3-32 in their last 35 games.

Who are these no-names on the Giants competing for the Cy Young, and what kind of substances are they using? Inquiring minds want to know, because this is just weird.

Who the heck is their pitching coach?

Funny enough it's Andrew Bailey, our bullpen coach prior to them hiring him in 2020.  Was replaced with Wise, too bad Bailey wasn't around to be Mickey's replacement...

How does a team like SF get what they're getting from guys like Mike Yastrzemski, Steve Duggar or Darin Ruf or even vets like Crawford, Longoria, Belt and Posey?  And a bunch of their pitchers?  

Their pen is dog shit as well.  Angels and Giants have the same wRC+ on offense.  Very similar pen.   SP isn't that far off from one another in terms of metrics.  Yet they have the best record in baseball.  The big difference between the two teams is defense.  They're top 5 and we're second to last.  They're +90 in base runs and we're -10.  That's a ten win difference.  

Is our defense really making us ten wins worse than we could be?

This isn't any excuse for the loss last night, that was on Heaney's one bad inning and the lack of offense against the Giants #2 starter, but...

They play the Rockies and Dbacks alot.....

[Vlad27Trout27]

Defense once agsin cost us this game. Rengifo makes that play, heaney is out of the inning without allowing a run. Game could have been totally different. Also the Offense needs to take blame for the last two games, we has chance after chance to come back.
